Week 1 - New Friends

Lent Challenges – Be the change…New Friends

Week 1 - 22nd February 2023

This week our ‘New Friends’ challenges have been:

  1. Invite somebody new to join in with your game.
  2. Play with a child from a different year group.
  3. Find out something new about somebody.

Class Collective worship:

In our Class Collective Worship, we thought about Friendship. We heard about how Jesus chose the 12 disciples to be his friends and reflected on these questions:

 

  • I wonder how it felt to be chosen by Jesus?
  • I wonder what we can learn about friendship from this story?
  • I wonder if our friendships can also change lives?
  • We were left with the challenge…Who can you make friends with today?

 

Pupil Thoughts:

How it felt to be chosen by Jesus

  • The class said it would have made them feel very special to be chosen by Jesus to be his special friend.
  • excited because you are with someone who is respectful and loving to you.
  • It might have felt shocking as it is new, and wonderful to be Jesus’ friend
  • Exciting, astonished, special, honoured, grateful, speechless, happy, surprised

 

What we can learn about friendship from the story

  • After talking about who was our best friend, we all decided that Jesus was our friend too because he is always there to talk to if we need him.
  • if we make new friends then we won’t have to be alone.
  • We can learmn about friendship You can’t just chose friends that are rich, you can chose different people people that have no friends.
  • You can make friends with anyone
  • You don’t need to choose someone who’s perfect.

 

How our friendship can change people’s lives

  • We reminded ourselves of the passage from Joshua 1:9 “Be strong & courageous, do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you may go.”
  • They can change lives as they can make us feel happy
  • Make people happy when they are sad
  • Yes, they can, without friends you will not be the same person.
